There was a pic posted on Facebook today, with Brian at the longest microphone I've ever seen.  Evil

I wonder if this was for the Buddy Holly album?

No - that was recorded back in early May.

Is that the microphone Mike Love referred to as a "dildo"?  Cool

Could this pic have been taken in St. Charles?  In another thread it's mentioned that Brian was going to spend a couple days recording there.  His show there isn't until Saturday, and Friday he's got to be in Grand Rapids, MI, but that's just a hop, skip, and a jump from St. Charles (216 miles, to be exact).

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Well, there was no 'new material' on there besides, off the top of my head, The Waltz, and A Friend Like You, is a clue . And that given the half-assed job on all of BW's vocals - from his leads down to the harmonies, which he might just not have been bothered to teach the group - to the fact that he apparently rushed the tracking sessions, it's fairly obvious he put the hard work into BWPS.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

"The Waltz" is old. It was originally "Let's Stick Together".

I think the pertinent question should be... which studio ?  Doesn't look like Oceanway or Capitol to me. Your Place Or Mine ?

That is an AKG C12 - I'm guessing it's a vintage one but in the past decade or so there have been more reissues of that mic, you can't tell in the photo.

It's the same microphone pictured in some of the Pet Sounds studio photos from '66, bringing it all full circle in a way, whatever Brian is recording in that shot. The best never goes out of style... Smiley

Some radio station studio (don't know if they use that type of mic)?

Without knowing for sure I'm only guessing, but most radio stations do not use an AKG C12 for broadcast or recording voiceovers - originals in working condition sell for no less than $10,000 (US) and the reissues start around $5,000. And notice immediately behind him in the photo is a rather large console (wood paneling on the side) - again, something you'd see in a recording studio more than a radio station which wouldn't need a board or console that large.

Of course I'm prepared to be totally wrong with my guessing... Cheesy

That's the one - it makes a nice comparison shot with the 2011 photo, doesn't it? A great "then and now" situation where Brian is recording at the same mic.
